A fantastic free outdoor cinema event is back at Connaught Park following the success of last year's summer screening - with a special showing on Friday 24 August of Disney's Meet The Robinsons, certificate U, suitable for all ages.

The event is being organised by Dover District Council (DDC) and gates will open at 7pm. Entry is by ticket only and the film will start around sunset, which should be between 8.15pm and 8.30 pm. Visitors are welcome to bring picnics and there will be catering concessions at the event. There is free parking in the town's car parks after 5pm.

There are a limited number of tickets available. Free tickets can now be collected from DDC Area Offices and the main Council offices at Whitfield, with a maximum of five tickets per person. You must provide proof of being a district resident and be over 18 years of age to collect a ticket. If you do not have a ticket, you will not be allowed into the event.

Cllr Nigel Collor, Cabinet Member for Access and Property Management, said: 'Following the tremendous success of last year's event, we are looking forward to another great evening in this superb setting. The event is being supported by a number of local businesses, and we thank them and everyone who has worked so hard to bring this all together again.'
